Well, while we had some great defense, and Kearns sure is good in the field, he's simply not hitting enough. Harris isn't hitting much either, but at least with Dukes & Dunn on the corners, you have pretty good offensive production; you can tolerate a weak-hitting all-glove guy at a premium defensive position. And an OPS of .680 for a CF is merely "pretty bad" compared to "dreadful", which is Corey Patterson's .154 or Kearns'660 in RF.

Let's hope the IF keeps up their sterling play from Yankee Stadium over the homestand. The OF of Dunn- Harris- Dukes is a nice balance of hitting vs. defense, & at home that's probably o.k. JZimm just needs to avoid the big inning and he'll be fine.
